I've used one so far and it feels pretty good. I'm replacing the babolat aeropro drive 2013 models and they feel a little different. I feel as if I get more control with these even at much lower tensions. This is with the lead at the 12. I'll see how it plays tomorrow with lead at the 3 and 9. This should give me more control. Can't complain, $139 each new.

Trying to pick a winner from this bunch...O3 Whites and a Prince Textreme Tour 100P are in bags (I figured they would be safer there until I have to string them up
Just capped the Microgel Radical, have to string it up (and added weight to the handle. The premier 105/prestige S/Vantage 95/Extreme/ and kblades aren't in my regular rotation right now.

They are brand new, unstrung, but they came with a set of Prince Premier Control. Unfortunately Prince has decided to kill the O3 White, there were 7 left in Prince's warehouse, I got 4 of them. They were my first main frame, and I still enjoy them. Plus I got a good deal, they actually put all 7 on hold for me, but I thought that was overkill.

I leave the racquet sales to TW!! I just get tons of stuff for me They probably think I am crazy, especially since I have sent them numerous emails demanding specs for the new Textreme Warrior 100!! Just so I can satisfy the other Textreme addicts on the board with new information

Since these are older racquets and not many left so I cycle my racquets in hopes of preserving them a little longer. When the strings die/break, I'll que them in the back, but I started getting confused which racquet was which, so I tagged them with a name, but that took to long to see, so I decided to color code it. Since these were older racquets and the 3 and 9 pts were just white, I figured I could just paint that little strip with some color to better and easily be identifiable, plus it allowed me to know which racquet I was using since each racquet has their own particular nuance. I also like leather grips, but a full leather grip weighed to much so I shorten them, but it just made for a ugly eye sore above the cutoff leather grip. I first tried to wrap the over grip above the grip, but it still looked ugly, so I thought about it and decided that by painting the upper portion of the pallet, it would match the paint at the 3 and 9 pts. It turned out better than I thought as now it looked like a finished product, both complimenting each other.

What the original looked like..
...and the customized version looks like, it makes for a very unique and original racquet on the court.

These are very old Wilson Ncode 98 Pro. The pic maybe misleading, Head is not that round

I liked them because the weight allowed for easy weight customization and they held extra weight very well, plus I really love the 18x18 string pattern which gives you great control as well as power and since, the pattern is not that closed it allows for "spin potential" .

The nCodes were a great generation any way you slice it. I used the nCode 6.1 95 18x20 for a few years. I never tried the nPro, but I did try the nPro Surge and nPro Surge X (I believe the Bryan Bros used this PJ). Great sticks. 18x18 is interesting.

For some reason the Npro 98 wasn't a very popular racquet and was discontinued shortly and the closest incarnation after that was the kblade98. I'm not sure why it wasn't favored, but it was a great tweener racquet at the time and with the added weight and right strings it's become a helluva players racquet. I went to the Blade series afterwards and last year started getting arm issues, so I thought I'd try this again and now I purchase everyone from the place that I can get. It's really a great racquet and again, 18x18 string pattern provides the best of all the worlds.
